25.01.2022 Just an update to my situation up here in Charleville. We are flooded in and expect the Warego river to peak tonight up to approx 6.1m and hopefully we will be able to leave sometime tomorrow or Wednesday. All roads in and out of town are closed off and are under water. They have put the Levi gates in to stop the water flooding the main part of town. Fingers crossed we can leave tomorrow as theres not much to do in a flooded town like charleville
25.01.2022 Been a busy few weeks of late. Had a good run of props to pull and redcoat prop speed. Some being repitched for better performance. #adamdodsondivingservices #proppulling #lukesmobilepropspeed #awm #pmkmarine
24.01.2022 Mooring serving. The results of galvanic corrosion. When people substitute the correct gear with dissimilar metals in the water this happens. The rope also has no chafe protection from the shackle. We have to go back and fix the rope next week.
24.01.2022 Covid Cup - Sunday 1pm With most clubs looking to kickstart their sailing, this Sunday may be the last race of the Covid Cup!! To celebrate the fun weve had..., our good mate and diver, Adam Dodson, has reached out and offered one of his cleans as a prize for the Covid Cup!! We are super excited as it means if you have sailed in any of the races OR WILL BE SAILING THIS SUNDAY, you will be in the draw to win. Lets get as many boats on the water as we can!! We are so grateful for Adams offer and support, not only for the Covid Cup, but also his support to all the yachts on an ongoing basis - especially Mad Jack!! (If anyone is looking for a professional diver, please reach out to Adam.) For boats that live out of the water, Mad Jack is happy to buy the voucher off you, so you wont miss out. We will try and get Adam to pull a name from the hat on Sunday after the race and ANY boat that has sailed over the last 6 weeks will be included in the draw. Unlike the starts and courses for the Covid Cup, we will not be rigging the draw to our advantage!!
24.01.2022 A job from a few years ago.

23.01.2022 Had to do a keel repair this week. The yacht had a mooring line wrap their keel in an anchorage on the way here. Took a little bit of work and sanding but came up a trick #adamthediver #hirw2019 #underwaterrepairs
23.01.2022 Hey guys. Check out my sons Opti sailing page. His having a ball and going well! His got the QLD states this weekend so that will test him out. Hoping he goes well
22.01.2022 Here is some pics and video of the water just before they closed the Levi off. They expect it to break over the road after dark but hope the Levi is just a precaution.
21.01.2022 Sunday evening call out to rescue someones phone. Where else would you be on a Sunday evening
19.01.2022 Quick trip back to the mainland to get anodes for a customers boat. Thanks to Marlin Marine for sorting out the parts #adamthediver #newanodes #marlinmarine #happycustomers #dowhatwegottado
19.01.2022 Next time your diver says we should change out your anodes its probably a good idea to do them! These pics are off a boat that came from the Brisbane River. Not sure how long its been in the water or since they had a diver under it but now the prop is completely stuffed and needs replacing. Anodes are sacrificial for a reason and these pics show you why.
18.01.2022 To all our customers and mates lining up today on the start line of the Sydney to Hobart.... good luck and be safe out there!
18.01.2022 Bit more breeze up here today for the long race. Should be a good day for the yacht its on the water Seems to be a huge ship near one of the courses! #teamhooligan #abrw #whitsundayislands #someonesgottodoit #adamthediver #pandocruiseship

No matter how many of these retrievals we do you still ask yourself how did it get in there? or why didnt you put the handbrake on? and we still dont have an answer to either of these! #adamdodsondivingservices #carinthedrink #towtrucks #sundayarvocallouts #carriedawaybythemozzies

11.01.2022 Got a call from a lovely couple late today asking for some help. They tried to thrust their boat off the dock and had no power in the thrusters. He dived over and looked and found they were clogged up. They assumed no one would be able to help til next week but they were amazed when I said Ill be there in half an hour! I took the props off, they cleaned them while I went and untangled some line from another race yacht then come back and put them on so they could leave for their trip home to Sydney. The race yacht dragged this device around the bay yesterday! They dont know how long they were dragging it for but there was about 70m of line tangled between the keel prop and rudder! Was a mess but its all good to race again today
09.01.2022 Adam has had to attend to a family emergency. He will be uncontactable until Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. Thank you for your understanding but the family had to come first. Many thanks, Sheridan
08.01.2022 One last job for the day... go back to Manly and pick up my gear I left there earlier today, empty the duck and go home... sounds simple right up to the part where my phone dropped out my jacket pocket lucky its water resistant but Ive still put it into a bag of rice for the night and hopefully itll be ok in the morning

06.01.2022 Had a call from Rivergate Marina and Shipyard this week for an inspection on MV Aurora, leading to a possible hull clean before they leave at the end of next week. Think we are going to need a few more tanks shes only about 74m long draws about 3-4m and a beam approx 12m. Im guessing a week of diving the tides for this big girl #adamthediver #superyachts #rivergatemarina #bigboats #cleanhulls #wishiwasonboardforthedelivery

03.01.2022 Had a call to do an inspection after a light grounding this week. Not only was there prop damage there was hull damage, an inlet grate about to fall off which led to a 6 hole leak (whoever installed them drilled through the hull!) All 4 blades of 1 side bent like a pretzel
03.01.2022 Start the day with boats at Airlie Beach then head to Hamilton Island for another couple of cleans and a repair in the water. Now head back to Airlie for the festivities
01.01.2022 Come back from a huge month up north for Hamilton Island and Airlie Beach Race Weeks to this little beauty keeping her clean before she hauls out for prep before this years Rolex Sydney to Hobart. I always forget how big she is underneath the waterline! #comanche #rivergatemarinaandshipyard #adamthediver #racecleans #cleanhulls #rolexsydneytohobart2019 #hirw #abrw
01.01.2022 Had a weird one this week! Well it was a first for me,never seen or heard of it before! A innerspring mattress wrapped around a prop of a power boat how it got there u ask? Well the owner said it was floating around for a couple of weeks then it wasnt and when I started the boat it soon stopped and by stop it was very fast! Took a lot of cutting and pulling but all came off ... eventually
01.01.2022 Customer calls and says it feels like the prop is going to fall off in reverse... port prop didnt need any tools to remove. #proppulling #adamthediver #noproptobig #rqys
